+This tutorial explains how to manage your single or multiple API consumers with Apache APISIX.
+
+Nowadays [APIs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API) connect multiple systems, internal services, and third-party applications easily and securely. _API consumers_ are probably the most important stakeholders for API providers because they interact the most with the APIs and the developer portal. This post explains how to manage your single or multiple API consumers with an open-source API Management solution such as [Apache APISIX](https://apisix.apache.org/).

+
+## API Consumers
+
+API consumers use an API without integrating it into an APP developed for it. In other words, API consumers are _the users of APIs_. This means, for example, a marketing department uses a [Facebook API](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/) to analyze social media responses to specific actions. It does this with individual, irregular requests to the API provided, as needed.
+
+An [API Management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_management) solution should know who the consumer of the API is to configure different rules for different consumers.
+
+## Apache APISIX Consumers
+
+In Apache APISIX, the [Consumer object](https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/terminology/consumer/) is the most common way for API consumers to access APIs published through its [API Gateway](https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/terminology/api-gateway/). Consumer concept is extremely useful when you have different consumers requesting the same API and you need to execute various [Plugins](https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/terminology/plugin/) and [Upstream](https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/terminology/upstream/) configurations based on the consumer.

Review Comment:
   @tokers Yes, but in this context, we are not specifying exact plugins otherwise the tutorials itself will be very long and you can write a book:)
